In keeping with the first-time theme I am having for this week's Music Monday, I'll be featuring another cool number from one of my favourite groups U2. Yup, am going back to my roots with yet another 80s number, 1984 to be exact.

Since I'm a true 80s music fan, I found some really cool fun facts online, which I thought would make a nice addition to this post. I bet you didn't know some of the facts too right? Happy Music Monday everyone and if you're wondering which other cool U2 number I am featuring at my other blog, do stop by! :)

Biggest selling album of the 80s (and all time)Michael Jackson's Thriller album of 1982 is the biggest selling album of all time, with over 42 million copies sold - and rising.

Freddie Mercury and ThrillerThere are many reports that Freddie Mercury of Queen recorded a track with Michael Jackson's for Thriller. However, this track has never surfaced in public.

Beat It guitaristThe guitarist that Michael Jackson's Beat It such a characteristic sound was Eddie Van Halen.

Kylie Minogue's first hitKylie Minogue's first hit song was a cover version of Locomotion. The film clip also stars the Australian actress/comedian Tania Lacy.

Duran DuranDuran Duran was named after a character in the 1960's film Barbarella. Jane Fonda played the lead and throughout the film she was searching for a character called Duran Duran. The band paid tribute to this film in the late 90s song Electric Barbarella. After fading out in the late 80s, Duran Duran also made a brief comeback in 1993 with the song Ordinary World.
